Sweater & Hat Knitting Pattern — Naturally K575
A textured 8ply baby sweater and matching hat, sized from premature to approximately 18 months. Crossed stitches add detail while a three-button shoulder opening helps with dressing.
Construction and skill guidance
The sweater is knitted flat in separate front, back and sleeve pieces, with set-in sleeves and a picked-up neckband. The hat is also knitted flat, shaped at the crown and seamed at the back.
Intermediate — crossed stitches, shaping, picking up stitches, buttonholes and seaming. The crossed stitches are made directly on the needles.
